The AG Industry Identification System (AGIIS) directory is a database system provided by AgGateway that houses agricultural eBusiness data for industry subscribers.

The AGIIS directory provides a repository for industry common data elements and serves as the fundamental building block for efficient electronic interactions between agricultural companies. Today, AGIIS contains 4.9 million uniquely identified Entities and over 140,000 agricultural products ranging from crop protection chemicals, seed and fertilizer.

AGIIS is a “living” directory that is constantly being updated and enhanced. Among recent enhancements is a simplified Web interface that allows AGIIS subscribers to add and maintain products more easily. With updated XML and CSV bulk file formats and new web services, users can now add and update large datasets.

Other recent enhancements include security features so that AGIIS subscribers can precisely specify which users can access their product information. Subscribers can now manage security settings at a company and product level to fit any number of security needs and preferences.

CSC developed and provides hosting and management services on behalf of AgGateway. For AGIIS-related questions, contact Member Services at +1 (866) 251-8618 or Member.Services@AgGateway.org. If you are interested in joining AGIIS, please click here.
